Ms. Poe's Websites for Teachers

Math Playground Logo




Kids' Page: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

Class Tools

ClassTools.net is another great website we learned about at the Georgia Power Up Conference.
With Classroom Tools you can use:
Random name picker (put in student names, sight words, math facts, reading comprehension questions or content vocabulary)
Twister- Like Twitter but safter!
Virtual Book- Turn any piece of prose into an animated book.

Classroom Management

Are you stuck in a behavior rut! Do your kids talk in the hallway, play in the bathroom or have the spring break crazies? If so, try Classroom Dojo. This website allows you to track student behavior from anywhere in the building by using a smart phone. You can track both positive and negative behaviors. You can also customize behaviors you want to track. Behavior reports can be sent to parents on a daily basis.
